SUMMARY:Center for Statistical Training Consulting Workshop: Introduction to Missing Data
DESCRIPTION:
 This workshop, presented by Dr. Tenko Raykov, 
 Professor of Measurement and Quantitative Methods 
 in the College of Education,  discusses 
 initially patterns and mechanisms of missing 
 data, and subsequently the flaws of traditional 
 methods for 'dealing' with missing data. Two 
 modern, principled and state-of-the-art methods 
 are then focused on - maximum likelihood 
 (full information maximum likelihood) and multiple 
 imputation. Throughout the workshop, 
 a number of empirical examples are used. On the 
 software level, the popular packages R and 
 Mplus are utilized on multiple occasions. Please
